Counting can be play too. Have the children collect acorns and then count them. Teach skip counting, starting with 2's, 5's, and 10's. If they enjoy it, they'll see how quickly they can count a pile. The best math for little people is to just count.

After you've read through Autumn in the Forest once, read it again teaching the children the sounds of the animals: honk, honk for the geese, ribbitt ribbit for the frog then SLAP for the tail of the beaver, the high keening of a hawk, the chirp-chirpping of a chipmunk or squirrel, the snoring of a sleeping bear and finally, the SILENCE of the weasel, (nice way to end.) Be sure to use your silence gesture after each sound. I use a palm down sliding gesture. (The kids will love watching you as the "conductor" and will probably do a lot of honk-honking outside later.) Practice first.
